News you can’t use.

.

You can’t use it, but you can laugh along with me reading it.

.

.

Whaaaat?

.

.

I will never look at a penguin the same way again.

.

.

But…

But, they always seemed so sweet.

😳

.

.

Proof positive it’s always the last place you look.

.

.

I figured it would be kale and was ready to rant, but oddly enough it turns out to be watercress. Does anyone even eat that anymore?

.

.

I’ve never understood why people use online password managers … which can be hacked…to store their passwords. My password manager can’t be hacked as it’s a little black book with entries written by hand that I keep in my desk.

Heck, my husband doesn’t even know where it is.

That’s security.

.

.

Perhaps.

But your perspective… or hers?

Maine is a gloriously wild and scenic state. We have rugged coastlines, charming villages, ski worthy mountains, pastoral farmlands, peaceful lakes and thick virgin forests.

We’re more than L.L. Beans.

Trust me on this.

.

.

What the Hell Italy?

😳

.

.

I live for these things.

.

.

Is there a poisonous Finnish frog of which I’m unaware?

.

.

Maine is definitely blueberry country.

The barrens are gorgeous in the fall.

.

.

So nobody has to be present to get married in Montana?

How the heck does that work…

.

.

Let It Snow seems appropriate for us.

❄️

.

This and that.

.

I love the blues and whites of a winter morning.

.

.

Or at least I did, until yesterday’s rain melted it all.

😫

I do not love the fact that the New York Times locked me out of the mini crossword and the tiles game I’d been playing for free until I updated my mobile app.

.

.

Boo to that.

On a happier note, there was a new bird sighting at Casa River.

.

.

Not a great picture, but he flew off too quickly for more than one.

Evening Grosbeak.

.

.

This sounds like my perfect retirement plan.

.

.

Sign me up!

.

.

Oh, hell no.

I’ve never fired a gun, but that abomination might make me reach for one.

.

.

This.

This is why I never begrudge our grey squirrels a meal.

💕

And finally, just in time for Christmas… an epic gingerbread house fail from my pickle algorithm.

.

.

Just….

No.

.

I feel you buddy. I really do…

.

As I’m sure you’ve all seen, there was a rambunctious raccoon in Virginia recently.

.

.

And I have to admit, I felt for the little guy.

.

.

While I’ve never broken into an actual liquor store, I’ve definitely over imbibed and paid the price.

.

.

This fellows escapades made good copy and soon after the story was everywhere….

.

.

And while the story itself was funny, the aftermath made me laugh as well.

.

.

I so need this shirt.

.

.

🤣

.

.

That seems harsh.

.

News you can’t use.

.

At all.

Ever.

.

.

I don’t think the low brain activity of a Kardashian even qualifies as news.

.

.

I didn’t think that was possible.

Though I swear I’ve come close a few times myself.

.

.

Can’t say I’d recommend that DIY.

.

.

Say it isn’t so Teddy.

.

.

Toys have certainly changed since I was a child.

😳

.

.

I call foul.

The boxes and labels? Sure. But what’s inside the bottle… no.

.

.

The thought of being “nudified” and spread across the internet?

Terrifying.

.

Miscellaneous nonsense.

.

A portrait of His Royal Highness.

.

.

Cats are such regal creatures.

.

.

I did not know.

And honestly, I wish I still didn’t.

.

.

Sunrise.

.

.

Proof that sometimes it is worth getting up early.

.

.

Quintessential Maine.

🤣

.

.

I bought Lord Dudley Mountcatten a fleece pad because he’s always looking for warmth.

He found part of it…

.

.

While antique shopping with the husband recently, I realized our woodchucks are just phoning it in. None of ours bring me flowers.

.

.

Yes.

This (slightly used) stripper pole was for sale.

No.

We didn’t purchase it.

🥴

.

Oh, the things you find when thrifting.

.

A friend and I spent the day thrifting recently… which is always good for a laugh.

.

.

These are definitely not bunion friendly.

.

.

What the…

What?

.

.

There will be no cooking in our garage. Gourmet, or otherwise.

.

.

Mark, this one’s for you.

Hide your treasure here. No one will ever want to open it except you.

😉

.

.

I’m at a loss with this one.

Anyone want to guess what it could have been?

The price was $1.99, if that helps.

🥴

Maps

.

Because everyone needs more maps.

.

.

Maine is clearly Team Cat.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten approves.

.

.

Well done Colorado.

Though the fact that there’s a CDC Surveillance System tracking these stats has me a bit worried.

.

.

How do you say pecan?

I’m in a green area but pronounce it more like the blue people do.

.

.

This definitely puts it in perspective.

.

.

Poetry in Stephen King country?

I call foul.

.

.

Maine does indeed celebrate Patriot’s Day.

.

.

If they’re red, I’m doomed.

But we feed the greys well and could probably survive the squirrel apocalypse.

.

He really needs to stop going to the dump.

.

My husband had to take a few things to the dump recently, and you know what happens when he does that.

Our “dump” is more of a recycling center… complete with a gift shop where everything is free, and there in lies the problem.

.

.

He came home with a table and chairs.

.

.

Do we need a table and chairs from the dump?

We do not.

.

.

But my husband couldn’t resist bringing it home and fixing it up to sell.

.

.

He cleaned, he polished, he tightened, he glued.

.

.

I told him to recover the horrible (plastic? vinyl?) seats but that was a bridge too far.

.

.

So now there’s a table and chair set clogging up the man cave/Barn Mahal.

.

.

Sigh…

🥴
